Rep. María Elvira Salazar, U.S. Representative for Florida’s 27th congressional district, posted a series of messages on February 6, 2026, highlighting legislative developments and expressing concern over a missing humanitarian flight.

In one post on February 6, 2026, Salazar shared her support for new legislation: “Es un orgullo que se haya promulgado la Ley de Aumento de Capital del BID, una iniciativa que impulsé y que autoriza 75 millones de dólares para BID Invest, el brazo del sector privado del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. Este paso abre nuevas oportunidades para las empresas”.

Earlier that day, she also posted a link without additional commentary: https://t.co/5elsUCCGPj.

Later in the afternoon, Salazar addressed an ongoing situation involving Agape Flights: “I’m praying for those aboard the Agape Flights aircraft reported missing over Haiti. Agape Flights is a pillar of South Florida’s faith and humanitarian community, and I know our region is united in prayer for the crew, their loved ones, and everyone awaiting news.”

The Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (Inter-American Development Bank) plays a significant role in financing development projects across Latin America and the Caribbean. BID Invest serves as its private sector arm and supports economic growth by providing financial solutions to companies operating in these regions.

Agape Flights is known within South Florida as an organization dedicated to supporting missionaries and humanitarian efforts in the Caribbean through air transport services. Its reported missing flight over Haiti has drawn attention from local leaders and community members concerned about those on board.
